Alaina, Alex, and Mark Ryan convene to discuss this week's biggest news: privacy breaches on both the government and private corporation fronts, in the form of hard drives infected with NSA spyware and laptops shipped with man-in-the-middle adware that compromises encrypted browsing sessions.

The Tech Fetish crew also chats about the latest space developments (fireball over Pittsburgh, y'all), hints that Sony could sell off its audio and video divisions, and why you should pay really close attention to what software you're downloading before manually updating firmware.
